integration, knowledge representation, reference, analogy, sentence
generation, natural language understanding.... and related fields.

machine.  The system should exceed the productivity of the Lisp Machine by
several orders of magnitude and integrate seamlessly with a global knowledge
base and with a global computational environment.
